Abstract:

Objective There are still many problems in the existing embroidery image generation algorithms, such as singular style of the generated image, rough features, and many artifacts. Aiming at this situation, embroidery style transfer modeling based on multi-scale texture synthesis is proposed. By improving the existing style transfer algorithm, embroidery-style images with higher perceptual quality are expected to be created.

Method Multi-stylized loss function was adopted to extract the edge information and detailed structure of the content image and the style image, and the results were compared with the effect of the transfer image generated by only using the content loss and the style loss.

Results Experiments presults showed that the multi-stylizd loss function could generate embroidery migration images with clear texture. Gatys' model was shown to have more artifacts and deformations in the conversion process of the image with dense lines, and Johnson's model also had artifacts and conversion errors in the conversion of feather details. Li and Wand's model lacks embroidery details such as stitching and texture variations (Fig. 6). The multi-scale texture synthesis embroidery style transfer model (MTE-NST) proposed in this research transfered the detailed structure of the style map well, which was closer to the real embroidery work, and was better than the first three models in terms of style and details. MTE-NST had the smallest MSE (the smallest style loss) and the smallest LPIPS (the highest image perceptual similarity), and the image quality and transfer effect were better. The test time and occupied memory were second only to Johnson, which are 0.58 s, 3 900 MB, respectively which are quite close, further verifying that MTE-NST can generate more realistic embroidery style image (Tab. 2).

Conclusion This paper proposes a MTE-NST, which learns hierarchically the multi-scale embroidery art styles. MTE-NST can not only restore the style image color but also preserve the texture structure and fine details of the image edge, which solves the problem of texture conversion mismatch and can generate embroidery style transfer pictures with better visual effects.
